On the first episode of Another Way to Play, your host, Hans Struzyna sits down with Jan Erion.

Jan grew up in the Seattle area where she attended the University of Washington and graduated with a degree in English Literature and two BFA degrees – in Painting and Surface Design. She was a full time studio artist for 25 years, and has two grown children and a two-year old Granddaughter.

She built four houses of her own in the Northwest. She also pursued real estate investing as a hobby, while working as a full-time studio artist, selling paintings through galleries and doing art commission work.

Jan moved to Alameda California ten years ago, and needed a job—so she got a real estate license, and then a broker’s license. She had never been in sales, so this was a big career turn for her. She is now proud to be a part of the prestigious Gunderman Group with Golden Gate Sotheby’s Realty in the East Bay. She just finished renovating an 1885 Victorian in Alameda and has relegated creating art work to being a large hobby.

On this episode:
